Work continued in 1960-1963 in the Ohio Range (formerly called the Central Range of the Horlick Mountains) to procure coal for accurate analysis. Samples of outcrop coal and one excellent sample of coal from an adit opened in one bed were collected. Coal samples were taken in 1959 by John J. Mulligan (31) at Mount Gran in the vicinity of Frank Debenham and McKenzie Taylor s old Mount Suess locality. The following season Mulligan (32) sampled coal farther inland in the Willett Range. Brown and Taylor (6) published an analytic report on coal from the Theron Mountains in 1961.
